MNS cadre enforces NRC in Maharashtra

Mumbai: Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) has carried out a drive to enforce NRC in the state asking locals to show their papers as proof of citizenship.

The MNS embarks upon a time as the Centre is trying hard to allay the concerns over the National Register of Citizens. Reports said the drive was conducted by the MNS cadre at Chikuwadi in Mumbai’s Borivali West.

Reports said the locals were asked by MNS leaders to show their Aadhaar card and other proof.

It is shocking to note that such an exercise is being carried out despite the Ministry of Home Affairs’ reiteration earlier this month that no decision has been taken “till now” on preparing a nationwide National Register of Citizens.
